The game turns character identity into a health bar, making personality erasure a core mechanic rather than a narrative flourish.

Fourth Boundary, the group behind ARG projects, released 'Kagami no Tokushu Shounen Kousei Shisetsu TRPG' on the CocoFolia Game Store. Players take the role of inmates at a facility rumored to use personality correction and other inhumane methods. The central mechanic ties character HP directly to their settings: name, likes, and other traits. Mental damage from the facility's schemes rewrites those settings. If all settings are overwritten, the character is lost and the player is out.
The game also includes an 'inmate work' system. Players who survive a session can create a piece of art or writing to share on social media, though the GM may censor parts of it. A companion website handles character sheets, session management, and inmate work storage. The package contains a rulebook, three scenarios, and sample characters. Four additional scenarios are sold separately at the Fourth Boundary online shop. The game is priced at 4,400 yen, with a launch discount to 3,960 yen until June 15.
